Happy Friday folks.
A couple of things:
I've been out for the past three days and the emails are piling up. I haven't lost them, I just haven't replied to many of them yet. If you're waiting for an answer from me, please be patient, I'll get there!
Also, you'll notice beaucoup de signed books this week. We had the Thrillerfest party last Friday and many of the authors in attendance signed their books. In some cases, we have very few copies, so put in your orders.
I'm reading The Whisperers by John Connolly right now. What are you reading?
